PX-B310U

[ruktuim]

I was interested to see if anyone knew anything about the Plextor PX-B310U.

The specs for Blu-ray are:

Read Speeds:
BD-ROM 6x
BD-R 6x
BD-R DL 4x
BD-RE 6x

Access Times
BD-ROM 350ms

Connection Type USB 2.0
Buffer 2MB

Here are a couple of links to the drive if that helps:

This is an external Blu-ray Drive, retailing for 199$.

What I was interested to know is if anyone knew if this was a good Blu-ray drive for:

1: Ripping blu-rays, to make digital copies of my collection.

2: Is there anything better for around the same 200$ price tag.

I'm using a laptop, so sadly can't get an internal drive. So for an external option, is this good, and will it work for ripping Blu-ray?


I wasn't sure if this should go under the Blu-ray to Blu-ray or the Blu-ray Writers forum, please forgive my ignorance if this is in the wrong location.


Thank you for the help!

(P.S. Sorry for the double post in two sections, I'm truely confused as to which is should go in. Please feel free to delete the post in if it's in the wrong forum.)
